Foto Friday came early this week. Just because this pic is too cute to wait. :) Somehow the red sunglasses were stolen/lost by my drunk booty at some point during the night. :( Taylor was less than pleased, to say the least. Too fun.This morning I drug my butt out of bed, but did NOT want to run. Usually once I'm up in the morning, I'm excited for my run, but not today. I think I need to stop eating dairy. :( This is probably obvious for those of you who know that I'm lactose intolerant but I l.o.v.e. cheese. But my consumption of it as of late has made me feel like crap. Last night after Tay's softball games, we went to Old Chicago and I had a roasted tomato/spinach calzone. It was awesome, but my stomach was not very happy this morning. Dairy out. Or else I need to be more consistent with taking lactase pills when I do eat it.
Anywho, the 5 miles was pretty uneventful. Gorgeous sunrise to enjoy, so that was nice. But it was definitely cool this morning at 5:45am. It got me thinking about what I'll do once it starts to get cold. Shortly after the Sioux Falls 1/2 Marathon on September 13th, it's going to be cold, and dark early in the morning. I'm afraid if I go back to being an after work runner, I'll come up with awesome reasons not to run. :( We'll have to see I guess.
I finished the 5 miles in 46:32 for an avg. pace of 9:19 (supposed to be 9:40 now, but close enough). It felt "easy" except for the first mile. Which, coincidentally, was my slowest mile. Weird.

Now, I'm bored. And I'm contemplating doing my easy 5 that is slated for tomorrow, tonight. Make it my 2nd 2-a-day run. I'm going to try to convince loverboy to come out for a bit of it with me. I could really use to sleep in tomorrow, so it'd be great to get it out of the way tonight. Unfortunately, that would probably mean that I would be antsy tomorrow, and would want to run anyway. I think I have the running fever. EEEK!
